I have been in my unit now for two weeks my overall experience with the management team. Dia and Macy were extremely nice and helpful with assisting me with any questions and even a second walk-through of the unit, just to ensure that I made the right decision and answered all of my questions. They are very communicative even after my move-in and I appreciate the management team! ????

There is no insect screen on the balcony door this is very important

Review from Apartments.com

Property Manager at Desmond at Wilshire responded to this review

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how important it is to enjoy fresh air while keeping insects out, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the lack of a balcony door screen. While our apartments do not currently come with… built-in insect screens, many residents have found success with easy-to-install options available online, such as magnetic mesh door screens.

If you’d like, we’d be happy to share a recommendation that works well and is renter-friendly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the office so we can provide you with more details.
We truly appreciate your input, as it helps us better understand the needs of our community.

Thank you,
